Arouca monastery MS Collection hotel was wonderful probably the most beautiful and unique hotels we have ever stayed. The old monastery high end amenities beautiful indoor pool sauna gardens. Great restaurant for dinner and breakfast
We had the most wonderful stay here for 3 days over easter. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, every part of it is carefully thought out. The decor is gorgeous, rooms spacious with lovely high ceilings and it is immaculately clean. The grounds are stunning, service and staff exceptional, i cannot think of one negative thing about our stay. Breakfast was also excellent and dinner in the restaurant the same with very reasonable pricing too for a 5 star hotel. A couple of minutes walk away are a couple of pleasant local restaurants and if you have a car, lots of hikes nearby. We loved every minute of our stay and would return in a heartbeat.
This is the nicest European hotel we have ever stayed in. The building is fabulous, really nicely converted with lots of thoughtful design choices. The rooms are lovely, beds super comfy, nice big fluffy towels. Great indoor spa facilities (we had a brilliant couples massage) and the outdoor pool is the perfect place to swim and relax with a cocktail. There are loads of nice places to sit and relax inside and outside. Staying here feels as comfortable as being at home. The breakfast is delicious, lots of choice and everything high quality. Room service food was great, the food in the restaurant really delicious. All of that aside though, what really makes this hotel special is the staff. We had brilliant service from the second we checked in to the moment we checked out. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and the service felt personal and attentive. We had hired an electric car, charging it was no trouble and in fact the receptionist offered to take our keys, charged the car overnight and parked the car back in the car park. We were lucky enough to be able to have a late check-out too - again this was no trouble and the team were happy to accommodate us. Don’t miss the club room - a lovely space to relax with a book (there are plenty), watch tv and enjoy a complimentary cup of tea and slice of cake. I’m hoping MS Collection expands their luxury hotels elsewhere so we can explore more places while staying in luxury!
A beautiful hotel with friendly and processional staff. We arrived when the festival was in Arouca which was so entertaining and made our stay perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Absolutely stunning, historic property. Exceeds expectation. If you like Four Seasons, this far outshines. Property, accommodations, staff, and location are outstanding. We stayed in beautiful hotels in Portugal--this one is far/away the finest. Location is in the center of the historic, beautiful, charming village, which cannot be missed for meals, strolling, photos, etc. Highly recommend making the trip to the Arouca Geo Park for the Paiva Walkways and the suspension pedestrian bridge--experience of a lifetime!
Could really not fault the staff or any part of the hotel. Very genuinely friendly staff on arrival, breakfast, and any other time needed. Hotel renovation has been done to very high standard, incorporating many parts of the old monastery. (Make sure you take in the monastery museum connected, so you can see the before and after)
The outside pool is just wonderful (with the right weather). It's big enough to have a proper swim, but you're still able to stand in the deep end.
Again, friendly staff at the pool side bar with drinks and food available.
Indoor pool and sauna are great, and again, very high standard to the finish.
Some may say the location is just a bit far from anywhere, but I think this is the point of this hotel. It's about getting away from it all and just relaxing.
Certainly would recommend and would return.
At the moment, as it only opened a few months ago (April 2025), it's still a Hidden Gem.
Chambre très jolie, petit déjeuner délicieux avec beaucoup de choix, personnel très sympathique.
Le restaurant Heritage m’a un peu moins plu, malgré des prix très raisonnables. L’un des serveurs sentait la sueur et chaque fois qu’il nous servait, c’était un peu désagréable. Pour le reste, tout était parfait.
Excelente experiência! Escolhemos este hotel para celebrar o nosso aniversário de casamento e fomos surpreendidos com um gesto muito especial no quarto. Funcionários muito atenciosos, espaços lindos e uma excelente requalificação. Voltaremos com todo o gosto!
Excelente experiência. O hotel apresenta instalações modernas e muito bem cuidadas, com um nível de limpeza irrepreensível. Destaco também a simpatia e disponibilidade de todos os funcionários, sempre atentos às necessidades dos hóspedes. A comida é de grande qualidade, variada e muito bem confeccionada. Sem dúvida um local a recomendar e ao qual terei todo o gosto em regressar.
Minha esposa e eu passamos um final de semana neste maravilhoso hotel. Ótimo serviço, condições e limpeza. Café da manhã fantástico. Recomendo sem ressalvas
Adorei a minha estadia neste hotel. Para além de estar inserido num edifício absolutamente deslumbrante, a arquitetura e a decoração revelam um cuidado excecional ao detalhe, criando um ambiente elegante e acolhedor.
Os funcionários destacam-se pela sua simpatia, profissionalismo e atenção constante, contribuindo para uma experiência verdadeiramente memorável. O pequeno-almoço surpreende pela excelente variedade de opções saudáveis e de elevada qualidade.
A área de spa e a piscina são simplesmente magníficas, proporcionando momentos de puro relaxamento. O ginásio, embora mais compacto e com algumas limitações, permitiu ainda assim realizar um treino satisfatório.
No geral, uma experiência que superou as expectativas e que recomendo vivamente.
Tudo, Hotel muito bem feito, aproveitando o antigo Convento, excelentes acomodações, salas e SPA. Funcionários profissionais, atentos a todos os detalhes e muito simpáticos.
